ROUTE UPDATE: Air New Zealand to start Auckland (AKL) - Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) nonstop service in December 2015

Air New Zealand recently announced plans to start Auckland (AKL) to Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) nonstop service in December 2015 with 777-200's on a 3x/weekly basis.  

The flights will have connections to/from Australia and southeast Asia plus Brazil on the South American end codesharing with Aerolineas Argentinas.  Aerolineas flew the Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Auckland (AKL) sector for several years but gave up the route in March 2014.  Buenos Aires also had flights to Australia operated by QANTAS until the Argentine aviation authorities denied that carrier codesharing rights with TAM to Brazil prompting the Australian airline to transfer its South American gateway to Santiago (SCL) offering connections with its Chilean Oneworld counterpart, LAN.
